(1-6,HP) I will now light the Lords candle on the Alter...
(1-6,HP) My lord, be with us in strength and love to see this circle

(1-6,HP) As the light shines through, Our love is with you!

(1-6,HPS) May the Lady's light guide us. So mote it be!
(1-6,HPS) My lord, will you please summon the Elementals?
(1-6,HP) By your wish, my love!
(1-6,HP) [I move to the East with Athame in hand and draw a Large
invoking
(1-6,HP) pentagram in the air]
(1-6,HP) Powers of the East, entities of air, I call and summon thee
here and
(1-6,HP) now. With the Love of the Lady and the Strength of the Lord I
invoke
(1-6,HP) Thee; Be present at our circle; Protect those within; Guide
us in...
(1-6,HP) our rites.
(1-6,HP) Oh, great element of air, as thou flows within us all, I ask
(1-6,HP) of thee to join all here together with thine invisible bonds
of
(1-6,HP) thought and knowledge. So Mote it Be!
(1-6,HP) [I move to the South, again drawing an invoking pentagram in
(1-6,HP) the air]
(1-6,HP) Powers of the South, entities of fire, I call and summon thee
here
(1-6,HP) and now. With love of the Lady and Strength of the Lord I
invoke...
(1-6,HP) thee; Be present at our circle; Protect those within; and
Guide us
(1-6,HP) in our rites. Oh great elements of fire, warm our hearts and
souls
(1-6,HP) so that all within our circle tonight can WILL that perfect
love
2164
(1-6,HP) away and thus receive all that which returns thrice fold.
(1-6,HP) So mote it be!
(1-6,HPS) So Mote It Be!
(1-6,HP) [I move to the West. I draw a large invoking pentagram in
the air]
(1-6,HP) Powers of the West, entities of water, I call and summon thee
with
(1-6,HP) the love of the Lady and strength of the Lord. I invoke
Thee; Be
(1-6,HP) present at our circle; Protect those within; and guide us in
our...
(1-6,HP) rites.
(1-6,HP) Oh great element of water, help us dare to flow as easily as
thou...
(1-6,HP) within and without our physical selves so that all within our
circle...
(1-6,HP) may join on the astral. Moisten our lips so our kiss be
soft; Flow...
(1-6,HP) fromfrom our eyes as tears of joy; Unite us in the realms of
the...
(1-6,HP) Gods. So mote it be!
(1-6,HPS) So Mote It Be!
(1-6,HP) [Circling to the north I draw another large invoking Pen-
tagram]
(1-6,HP) Lady of the North, Mother Earth, sweet beauty and gift of the
Gods,...
(1-6,HP) join us here in our circle of love. With the Lord and the
Lady...
(1-6,HP) within us all, we send for thee with Perfect Love and Perfect
Trust...
(1-6,HP) so that thou may be healed, renewed, and loved. Powers of the
North,...
(1-6,HP) entities of the Earth, be present at our circle; Protect

(1-6,HP) within; and Guide us in our rites. With the love of the Lady
and...
(1-6,HP) the strength of the Lord, I call thee here now!
(1-6,HP) So mote it be!
(1-6,HPS) So Mote It Be!
(1-6,HP) [Back to the East again, Athame raised high]
(1-6,HP) So Mote It Be! The elements are here!
(1-6,HP) [speaking now to the HPS]
(1-6,HP) My Lady, the elements are present as per your wish. With
love and...
(1-6,HP) trust they have been summoned as all here now have been.
(1-6,HPS) So Mote It Be!
(1-6,HPS) [HPS goes to the alter and draws a pentagram in a bowl of
salt]
(1-6,HPS) I bless thee salt, element of Earth, in the names of the
Lady &...
(1-6,HPS) Lord. [HPS now draws a pentagram in a bowl of water]
2165
(1-6,HPS) I bless thee, element of water, in the names of the Lord and
Lady.
(1-6,HPS) [HPS Places three Athame-fulls <g> of salt in the water]
(1-6,HPS) I ask that the combining of these elements purify our
circle, and...
(1-6,HPS) those who shall enter this sacred place of worship for the
Lady and...
(1-6,HPS) Lord.
(1-6,HP) [HP draws a pentagram in a small dish of incense]
(1-6,HP) Incense of Oil. Incense of Herb. I bless and consecrate thee
to be...
(1-6,HP) pure and good. With this blessing I do charge thee to keep
from this...
(1-6,HP) circle all ill and bring forth the security of Perfect Love
and...
(1-6,HP) Perfect Trust to all within our magical bounds.
(1-6,HP) So Mote It Be!
(1-6,HP) [Now I draw a pentagram in over the fire (a small charcoal)]
(1-6,HP) Creature of fire, I consecrate and bless thee so that thou
are...
(1-6,HP) purest in form, love, and trust. Powers within, grow and
strengthen...
(1-6,HP) so that thou may protect and aid all within our circle,
uniting us...
(1-6,HP) within, even over vast distances. I charge thee to hinder us
not,...
(1-6,HP) protect us from that which we do not desire, and warm our
hearts...
(1-6,HP) with thoughts of Love and Trust.
(1-6,HP) So Mote It Be!
(1-6,HP) [I now place a bit of incense on the coal]
(1-6,HP) Incense burn in the fires light and the elements shall unite.
May...
(1-6,HP) the sweetness upon the air aid our united thoughts and bring
forth...
(1-6,HP) all which is good and pure. For that which is not good and
pure...
(1-6,HP) shall find the sweetness sour and repugnant. Incense and
fire now...
(1-6,HP) seal our way on the path of the Lady and Lord!
(1-6,HP) So Mote It Be!
(1-6,HP) [HP will take censor in hand and the HPS will take the salted
water,...
(1-6,HP) we then sprinkle and cense the circle border as well as
ourselves...
(1-6,HP) within... ]
(1-6,HP) <Spinkle>
(1-6,HP) <Sprinkle>
2166
(1-6,HPS) [I will now conjure the circle, please visualize a bright
blue...
(1-6,HPS) perimeter]
(1-6,HPS) I conjure thee oh circle of love and light. May our perfect
love and...
(1-6,HPS) trust shine bright. With this light of blue,
(1-6,HPS) We ask that no harm come through.
(1-6,HPS) Circle in, Circle out,
(1-6,HPS) Only the pure of heart may come about.
(1-6,HP & HPS) So Mote It Be!
(1-6,HP) [With a big ole kiss I bring all the Ladies out there into
our...
(1-6,HP) circle]
(1-6,HPS) [With a kiss I bring all the Lords into our circle]
(1-6,HPS) <Kiss Kiss>
(1-6,HP) Well, we're all in circle and have a ritual for the moon to
boot.
(1-6,HP) Anyone have any input they would like some group thought on?
We
(1-6,HP) have a bit of collective thought to do later, also.
(1-5,Shadow Hawk) I would like to thank the Lady for the fact...
(1-5,Shadow Hawk) that so little life was lost due to Hurricane
Andrew.
(1-6,Ted & Nanette) Blessed Be!
(1-5,Shadow Hawk) Greg, Lars, Count, anything to add?
(1-9,Lars) I would like to say thank you for a beautiful experience..
(1-4,Greg) I would like to ask if we coulld raise dome energy to
(1-6,Ted & Nanette) OK, shall we go into our ritual? Also, what is
the transmission...
(1-4,Greg) send to my mother in the hospital
(1-6,Ted & Nanette) delay? should I wait longer for responses?
(1-5,Shadow Hawk) Yes wait about a minute longer
(1-4,Greg) I can't type fast
(1-6,HP) Why is your mom in the hospital?
(1-4,Greg) Cancer
(1-6,HP) Let's do a bit of healing with our collective thoughts, when
the...
(1-6,HP) magic time is ready. Is that OK? Where is she?
(1-4,Greg) Dobbs Ferry, New York... that sounds fine
(1-6,HP) Any one else, or shall the ritual begin?
(1-6,HP) Whom might have a whit candle available, and whom is visual-
izing...
(1-6,HP) tonight?
(1-9,Lars) I'm just 20 minutes north of where the worst of Andrew
hit--Please .... a though
(1-4,Greg) I have a white candle
(1-5,Shadow Hawk) I have a Zen Candle
(1-6,HPS) Figures!
(1-6,HP) OK let us do what we came here to do!
(1-6,HP) Tonight is the full moon. We are at our peak in magic, love,
and...
2167
(1-6,HP) fulfillment in all matters. Tonight we celebrate the climax
of our...
(1-6,HP) Lady's cycle. Tonight we are all one!
(1-6,HPS) The culmination of our work, our love, and the Lord, rest in
the...
(1-6,HPS) Lady tonight.
(1-6,HP) Would anyone else like to comment on what the full moon is to
them?
(1-9,Lars) High Tide for me...!
(1-6,HP) So be it.
(1-6,HPS) The Godess is Alive and Magic is afoot!
(1-5,Shadow Hawk) The Full moon is the face of my Lover.
(1-6,HP) Blessed be! The Goddess is Alive and Magic is afoot!
(1-6,HP) [HP now take white candle in hand, (mouth actually, hands are
busy)]
(1-6,HP) May this candle be as the moon, as the Goddess. Shining
bright with...
(1-6,HP) the warmth of love.
(1-6,HP) [I hand the candle to the HPS]
(1-6,HPS) [HPS carves a pentagram in the candle and says]
(1-6,HPS) With love and trust I charge this candle to burn bright and
long. It...
(1-6,HPS) is to represent the Lady, the moon, and of course the Lord.
In peace...
(1-6,HPS) and harmony this candle is love.
(1-6,HP) Blessed Be!
(1-6,HPS) Blessed Be!
(1-6,HPS) So Mote It Be!
(1-6,HPS) [HPS now lights the candle and places it on the altar,
saying]
(1-6,HPS) Now, with all of us across the distances, if you have a
candle,...
(1-6,HPS) please do as I did. We shall wait...
(1-5,Shadow Hawk) blessed be
(1-6,HP) Shall we continue?
(1-3,Count Cagliostro) yes
(1-5,Shadow Hawk) aye
(1-9,Lars) yes
(1-4,Greg) Blessed Be!
(1-6,HPS) So be it! Those that have candles please follow along;
those...
(1-6,HPS) without should visualize one and procede along also. The
physical...
(1-6,HPS) world NEVER INHIBITS the realm we are in now.
(1-6,HPS) I want everyone to look into the flame of your candle. Our
computer...
(1-6,HPS) desk is serving as an altar tonight, to make it a bit less
hectic....
(1-6,HPS) <g>. Anyhow, look into the flame and see the moon. So
bright and...
(1-6,HPS) full, this is the moon in your heart.
(1-6,HP) Now look again into the flame of your candle, and see your-
self in...
2168
(1-6,HP) that flame. See your life energy as it really is. The moon
is your...
(1-6,HP) heart, the flame, and you life energy. It is one!
(1-6,HPS) Let us pause for a moment and let yourself be one with the
flame,...
(1-6,HPS) the moon, and the Goddess. Feel the warmth. Feel the love.
(1-6,HPS) Know the Goddess.
(1-6,HPS) As the candle burns, remember not what was said, but remem-
ber what
(1-6,HPS) was done and felt. You and the Goddess are one.
(1-6,HP) For those with candles, let them burn till gone. For those
without,...
(1-6,HP) let them burn in your mind till dawn. For to snuff a flame
before...
(1-6,HP) it's time really pisses-off the fire faeries!
(1-6,HP) Blessed Be!
(1-6,HPS) So Mote It Be!
(1-6,HP) [Speaking to the HPS]
(1-6,HP) My Lady. My Love. Does thou wish at this time to become one
with...
(1-6,HP) the Goddess?
(1-6,HPS) Yes, I do.
(1-6,HP) So Be It!
(1-6,HP) [I raise my athame and point it towards the HPS while saying]
(1-6,HP) My Lady, Tis I, once again, calling upon thee with the
request for...
(1-6,HP) thou to join us now in this, thy high priestess. Lady of
many...
(1-6,HP) names, Isis, Diana, Astarte, Aradia, Be with us! Lady of
many ages,
(1-6,HP) maiden, mother, crone, Be with us! With perfect love and
perfect...
(1-6,HP) trust I call upon thee, oh most beautiful mother of us all.
Join...
(1-6,HP) with us now! Our hearts are open to thee. Our circle is
open to...
(1-6,HP) thee. Our trust resides in thee. JOIN US NOW!
(1-6,HP) [Now for the online tricky part, I'll invoke the HPS and then
type...
(1-6,HP) her response, maybe it'll work <g>]
(1-6,HPS) [Breathing deepens]
(1-6,HPS) She weeps... for the destruction and the pain, for she
knows it is...
(1-6,HPS) great. <sigh> But all is how it should be. Know that from
death...
(1-6,HPS) comes rebirth... And although much time is passing, we will
be...
(1-6,HPS) whole again. A large green ball... Greg... See a large
green ball...
(1-4,Greg) OK
(1-6,HPS) in front of you... <shaking head> Greener, brighter...
Not...
2169
(1-6,HPS) Put your love inside and through me it shall go to your
mother......
(1-6,HPS) Your energies will double...
(1-6,HPS) <Deep breath>
(1-6,HPS) Good color greg...
(1-6,HPS) <Long deep breathing>
(1-6,HPS) It is done. It has been sent.
(1-6,HPS) <We're back! Pardon us for a second while we do a good
grounding...
(1-6,HPS) hug>
(1-6,HP) Well, ... Wow.
(1-6,HP) Let's do a quick cakes and wine (or Ale), OK?
(1-4,Greg) Sounds wonderful
(1-9,Lars) ook...
(1-5,Shadow Hawk) sounds good to me!
(1-4,Greg) I have doughnuts and Ale
(1-6,HPS & HP) Just got ours too! Let's do it!
(1-6,HPS & HP) [HP and HPS face each other (OK Nan, get on the desk)]
(1-6,HPS & HP) [HPS hold the chalace, and HP pours the (oops) already
poured ale...
(1-6,HPS & HP) into the chalace, and says]
(1-6,HP) Let me fill your cup, as you my lady have filled my heart.
(1-9,Lars) I want to thank you for this experience...A toast!
(1-6,HPS) Like the cup and the wine, we are one wet seperate.
(1-6,HPS) [HPS picks up the athame, dips it in the chalace]
(1-6,HPS) Blessed be my lord!
(1-6,HPS) [HPS sprinkles the cakes with the Ale from her Athame and
says]
(1-6,HPS) Blessings be upon these grains of life, sacred to the
Goddess.
(1-6,HPS) [She offers a piece to me (HP), and now I give her one.]
(1-6,HPS) [HP now quaffs a bit of ale and passes it to the HPS]
(1-6,HPS) Shadow Hawk, have some and pass it on!
(1-5,Shadow Hawk) (raising chalace)
(1-5,Shadow Hawk) (drinking a sip, with eyes raised to the moon
(1-5,Shadow Hawk) passing it on)
(1-5,Shadow Hawk) Jehana, will you chare the Chalice of Life with me?
(1-7,Jehana Silverwing) Yes, I shall, shadow Hawk. <takes chalice>
(1-7,Jehana Silverwing) <drinks a sip; libates a portion>
(1-6,HP) Now that the celebration is almost through,
(1-7,Jehana Silverwing) passes to Greg.
(1-6,HP) And I would like to request of you,
(1-4,Greg) <taking chalice>
(1-4,Greg) Brightest Blessings to all of us and eryone who was unable
to join us tonight.
(1-6,HP) Oops... Sorry to butt in on the party, Pass that chalace,
we are...
(1-6,HP) still in celebration mode, yes?
(1-4,Greg) <taking sip, and passing to Lars>
(1-9,Lars) Thankful for the love shared here (dizzy)...!
(1-6,HP) Pass that on to granny O.
(1-9,Lars) Big Gulp!!!
(1-3,Annina) Greetings all, sorry I'm late.
2170
(1-9,Lars) <passing chalice to Annina>
(1-3,Annina) <taking a sip>
(1-3,Annina) <smiles all around>
(1-6,HP) Blessed be Annina!
(1-3,Annina) Blessed be to all!
(1-6,HP) OK, can we continue, still a bit to do before we close...
(1-4,Greg) Has everyone had cakes and wine?
(1-7,Jehana Silverwing) yes.
(1-3,Annina) <taking a bite of cake> Yes, thanks. :-)
(1-6,Ted & Nanette) yes.
(1-4,Greg) Lets continue
(1-6,HP) Now the celebration is almost through,
(1-6,HP) And I would like to request of you,
(1-6,HP) Work with me to make the sky blue.
(1-6,HPS) The earth is our mother
(1-6,HPS) From the start she has been there for us
(1-6,HPS) And at the end she will remain
(1-6,HP) As we care for each other in this physical world
(1-6,HP) So must we care for our mother earth
(1-6,HP) For now is a time with smoky air
(1-6,HP) now is a time with oceans of oil
(1-6,HP) now is a time with soil of garbage
(1-6,HPS) Magic is in me. Magic is in you.
(1-6,HPS) Let us spend just a minute and think
(1-6,HPS) For collective thoughts is the magic for all
(1-6,HPS) Think and create. For in our power lies enough to change
(1-6,HPS) that which others deem a lost cause.
(1-6,HPS) Think now, one and all, about the beautiful mother. Healthy
and...
(1-6,HPS) happy and free from the diseases we have previously given
her....
(1-6,HPS) Let's make the magic happen. See the mountains in the
crystal clear...
(1-6,HPS) sky. See the clean oceans sparkling blue. See her beauty
under the...
(1-6,HPS) full moon light. Think...
(1-6,HP) So Mote It Be!
(1-6,HP) Greg, it was a bit unusual to see magic for you mom appearing
in the...
(1-6,HP) drawing down. I've been under the belief that once magic is
done is...
(1-6,HP) should be left alone. For any doubt will destroy the res-
ults....
(1-6,HP) Should we work more magic for her now, or should we call it
done?...
(1-6,HP) It's your call.
(1-4,Greg) What we've worked felt pretty powerful...
(1-4,Greg) I think it will do, my mother doesn't exactly know I asked
for this.
(1-6,HP) Well then, Thought of her will remain clear in all of us.
Thoughts...
(1-6,HP) of her happy and healthy. It is done.
(1-4,Greg) Blessed Be!
2171
(1-6,HP) Does anyone want any other collective magic to be done, now
is the...
(1-6,HP) time.
(1-3,Annina) I'd like you all to remember my husband's and my busin-
ess. We are starting
(1-3,Annina) it this week on a virtual shoestring as our venture
capital deal fell through.
(1-3,Annina) Your thoughts and meditations in your rituals would be
very much appreciated.
(1-6,HP) What is the business and where? What are your goals? I
learned...
(1-6,HP) long ago not to ask for vague things, they sneak up and bite
you in...
(1-6,HP) the butt. That's an experience Loki taught me.
(1-3,Annina) The business is a point of sales computer systems com-
pany. We're in
(1-3,Annina) Pensacola, Florida (on the Gulf Coast near Mobile, Ala.)
(1-3,Annina) Our goals are to make 8 sales per month for the first 90
days.
(1-6,HP) Not too bad.
(1-3,Annina) That will give us the capital to get things underway with
an office and
(1-3,Annina) a demo system.
(1-6,HP) Everyone here please visualize Annina's company selling 30
sales by...
(1-3,Annina) We're running it out of our home at the moment. It's
scary, but we KNOW
(1-3,Annina) the business is there and we've done our homework and
made the connections.
(1-6,HP) the end of 90 days. Envision happiness and of course wealth
for...
(1-6,HP) Annina and her husband. From this thought in your heart turn
it to...
(1-6,HP) a color and send it to her now.
(1-6,HP) Well Annina, I hope I didn't zap you. In my vision I saw you
so...
(1-6,HP) busy after 60 days that you needed to hire help to handle all
the...
(1-3,Annina) WOW!! Green and pink and purple! Mostly green though. :-)
(1-6,HP) work. You will be successful. As long as you remember that
which...
(1-6,HP) you want.
(1-6,HPS) Great!
(1-3,Annina) I definitely felt your strength!! Many thanks to all!
(1-6,HP) Can we close or does anyone have naything else to add?
(1-4,Greg) Best of blessings to you, Aninna, and your Husband
(1-3,Annina) Thank you, Greg, and brightest blessings to you and your
mother.
(1-4,Greg) Many thanx!
(1-6,HP) So be it! Let us close this circle!
(1-5,Shadow Hawk) Blessed Be!
(1-4,Greg) BB to ALL!!!
(1-3,Annina) Blessed Be!
(1-9,Lars) Blessed Be!!
2172
(1-6,HPS) [I will close this online circle, Starting in the East and
working...
(1-6,HPS) counter-clockwise with athame pointed to the circle border,
I say]
(1-6,HPS) Circle in, Circle out,
(1-6,HPS) Bless all those who came about.
(1-6,HPS) As our blue light becomes a dim hue,
(1-6,HPS) We have been protected, no harm due.
(1-6,HPS) I release thee oh circel of love and light,
(1-6,HPS) May perfect love and trust always shine bright.
